Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
One of the major challenges faced by the global aquaculture industry is the high incidence of infectious diseases caused by viruses. The globalization of trade and ineffective control measures for fish viruses have led to their rapid spread worldwide, with no solutions available for either farmers or consumers, which has generated great concern about animal health and welfare and economic concerns in the aquaculture sector. Vaccinology for fish has been studied for the several decades, but to date, only a few commercial vaccines against viruses are available, none of which are fully protective. Given the speed with which viruses spread, adapt, and evolve in the environment, more in-depth studies of fish virology and immunology, as well as new approaches in vaccinology, are urgently needed.
This Special Issue aims to collect full-length articles, review articles, and short communications that present original research on the latest strategies in vaccinology for fish viruses. The compilation will cover a range of topics, including but not limited to, studies on the effectiveness, improvement, and safety of vaccines in fish viruses, generation of new vaccines, the immune responses (both innate and acquired) triggered by these vaccines, new vaccine administration methods and the use of novel vaccinology strategies to impair viral dissemination. Additionally, innovative approaches to novel lines of vaccine design will be highly valued.
We look forward to receiving your latest findings on fish viruses’ vaccines research and innovation.
